Chapter 800: Ruthless
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Great Grandfather Three was a man with characters. He made it very clear from the onset that if they would not allow for his mediation. This was just what Lu Zhengtan and his side wished for. They bowed at once and claimed that they would act as Great Grandfather instructed.
Lu Renhuang, on the other hand, didn’t make a stand. He turned to Lu Li and Lu Ling. After all, Lu Renhuang wasn’t concerned about himself but his son and daughter had suffered. The goal of coming here was to claim justice for his son and daughter.
Lu Ling was a person that valued filial deity very much. She nodded to Lu Renhuang, signaling for the later to make the call. Lu Li did as Lu Ling did. He could not put Lu Renhuang in a difficult position.
Lu Renhuang only bowed then, “Great Grandfather Three, of course I acknowledge your instructions. Do tell.”
Great Grandfather Three was not only here on behalf of himself, but also Patriarch of Law Enforcement who was the strongest support of the Lu Family, Lu Renhuang’s grandfather. Lu Renhuang could be fuming with anger but he still had to listen. He could not afford to start killing right away.
Great Grandfather Three nodded. He looked around again and said, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement has learned all that has happened in the Lu Family, including matters about Lu Zhengyang, the fact that Lu Renhuang was at Northern Desert, the feud between Lu Li and Lu Suan and the most recent events.”
A coldness rose gradually in Great Grandfather Three’s eyes as he continued, “Internal strife is a mortal sin. Lu Zhengtan, you must assume the main responsibility. It is your fault that it has come to this. Are you willing to admit your wrongdoings?”
Lu Zhengtan bit his teeth before he lowered his head and apologized, “Yes, I am!”
“Good!”
Great Grandfather Three nodded. “Patriarch of Law Enforcement has said that you and Lu Tiandi should go to the Demon-slaying Battleground. You will have your souls reconstructed and you will join the Hall of Warfare. We let you live because you need to fight the alien races perform a meritorious service to atone for your crimes. Are you willing to accept that?”
“What…”
Lu Zhengtan and Lu Tiandi were both taken aback. They were fine with going to the Demon-slaying Hall. But to have their souls reconstructed would mean to be reborn. They would have no memory of their past.
What was more, the chances of survival in the Hall of Warfare was slim. Four forces were pressing onto the border. Master of the Asmodians had become a god. Once Lu Zhengtan and Lu Tiandi ran into it, they would never make it alive.
Lu Tiandi looked at Lu Zhengtan who made up his mind and asked, “Great Grandfather Three, we are willing to go to the Demon-slaying Hall. However, what about Fenghuo, Liantian, Lu Suan and Lu Ni?”
“It’s none of your business. I just want to know if you will accept the offer or not!”
Great Grandfather Three yelled in extreme fury. His soul was reconstructed many years ago. He had little emotional attachment for Lu Zhengtian and the others. Naturally, Great Grandfather Three would be vexed by Lu Zhengtian being insensible.
“Alright!”
Lu Zhengtan put on a bitter smile and said, “We will go to the Demon-slaying Battleground!”
“Good!”
Great Grandfather Three turned to Lu Fenghuo and Lu Suan. “Patriarch of Law Enforcement stated that you are all sinned. According to the family rules, you should all be executed. That being said, at the moment, we are faced with the four alien races and it is not an appropriate time for execution. With that in mind, he suggested that you are exiled to the Demon Island for 10 years. If you can survive that, you will go the Demon-slaying Battleground and redeem yourselves by good service. One more thing… from today on, you will all be driven out of the Lu Family. You will no longer be Lu Family disciples. Do you understand?”
“What~”
A chorus of reaction rose. To be exiled to the Demon Island might not be the gravest punishment but after they could leave alive, they should be sent to the Demon-slaying Hall at once. More importantly—they would all be ousted from the Lu Family. They could not be buried in the Lu Family graveyard after death, not to mention being worshiped by future generations!
To this group, this was without a doubt very cruel. To some of them, they felt worse than being executed right away.
Lu Li showed no emotion as he believed the punishment was fair enough. He would not let it go if the punishment was not at this level. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had found an indirect way to preserve the gang’s life. Of course… they would have to rely on their ability and luck to make it alive.
Lu Ling pouted to show her frustration. If it were up to her, all should be killed. Exiled to the Demon Island and sent to the Demon-slaying Hall would cost the lives of many. Nevertheless, some were bound to escape.
“Shut up!”
Great Grandfather Three yelled, “You can leave the City of Mystic Armor right now if you don’t want to listen. Neither I nor Patriarch of Law Enforcement will ever concern ourselves about you again.”
The group stopped talking immediately. Lu Li could tell that many of them were still holding a grudge. He grinned and said, “How about this. Leave if you want and I promise you that I will not go after you in 10 days. I will say anyone who is able to escape from me very lucky. What do you think?”
Swish, swish, swish~
The group was scared to death. They could run for a long distance in 10 days and the Great Land was a vast place. But if Lu Li really came after them, where could they go? Unless, they found a small world and cut off the passage and stay in their till they died of old age.
Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian pouted and were about to say something when Lu Suan beat them to it by saying, biting his teeth in hatred, “We will obey Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s order. We will go to the Demon Island.”
Every dog has its day. In the old days, Lu Li was the one exiled to the Demon Island. Now, it was the turn from Lu Fenghuo, Lu Suan and the others. They were extremely unwilling but they had to swallow their pride or else it would be cruel execution that waited for them.
Great Grandfather Three made sure that nobody had a second opinion before he looked at Lu Renhuang and asked, “Renhuang, do you have anything to say about this sentence?”
Lu Renhuang was satisfied. After all, he was not heartless enough to see his own people killed. He turned to Lu Ling who had other views but didn’t dare to disobey Lu Renhuang.
But when it was Lu Li’s turn, he said, “I object!”
“Yes?”
All were looking at Lu Li who was not regarded as an average person at the moment. If Lu Li wanted to drive away and execute them all, not even Lu Renhuang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement would try and stop him.
Lu Li gave Lu Suan a glance and said, “This man cannot be allowed to go to the Demon Island. I suggest that you reconstruct his soul and send him to the Demon-slaying Battleground to slaughter the enemies. He is too sinister and sly. If you don’t agree, I will kill him by myself!”
With the Wicked Bead in his control and so many Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves, Lu Li was not afraid of Lu Zhengtan at all. Lu Li was able to kill Lu Zhengtan and the others if they dared to plot against him ever again in the future.
But it was different with Lu Suan who was malice and vicious. He was incredibly talented in plotting. He was as good a strategist as Lu Ling. Lu Li would not want to set loose a viper which was aiming at himself at all times.
Lu Suan would practically be reborn after his soul was reconstructed. He would forget all the previous feud and hatred. With the little capacity he had, he would most likely be killed in the face of the four alien races when he was sent to the Hall of Warfare.
Lu Suan was Lu Fenghuo’s favorite son and was believed to the hope of Lu Family’s future. Lu Fenghuo’s expressions were ferocious when he heard the proposal. Staring at Lu Li like a hungry wolf gazing at its prey, Lu Fenghuo said, “Lu Li, don’t push it so hard. Do you really have to do this?”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li said with a sneer, “Which one of you can stop me if I want to exterminate all of you? It will be so easy like I am merely slaughtering dogs even in the presence of Deputy Master. If it were not for the sake of my father, I would spare no one! Just tell me, yes or no. If you don’t accept, then let us fight!”
Great Grandfather Three gave a silent consent. He didn’t blame Lu Li for interrupting with rude remarks because Lu Li had earned this. Great Grandfather Three could help Lu Zhengtan even if Lu Li didn’t agree. But what was the point of that?
Lu Zhengtan was frustrated. Lu Tiandi was filled with killing desire. Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian were quaking with rage. Still, they all had to admit that Lu Li was qualified to be like this. Nobody could stop Lu Li if he wanted to put on a killing spree, not even when Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Deputy Master were here!
Lu Suan was struggling. He felt hopeless at the moment. He had no other choice but to swallow his pride. “Fine. I will… go the Demon-slaying Hall!”
